Abstract

The FP7 project nanoCOPS derives new methods for simulation during development of designs of integrated products. It covers advanced simulation techniques for electromagnetics with feedback couplings to electronic circuits, heat and stress. It is inspired by interest from semiconductor industry and by a simulation tool vendor in electronic design automation. The project is on-going and the paper presents the outcomes achieved after the first half of the project duration.

Highlights

Designs in nanoelectronics often lead to large-size simulation problems and include strong feedback couplings
The overall objective of nanoCOPS is to advance a methodology for circuit-and-system-level modelling and simulation based on best practice rules to deal with coupled electromagnetic field-circuit-heat problems as well as coupled electro-thermal-stress problems that emerge in nanoelectronic designs
Uncertainty Quantification was applied to variations of material parameters and geometry and was used in robust topology optimization
